Lynda Terrill lterrill@cal.org ********** Hello all, It looks like someone or something is once again spoofing our lists' email addresses and sending viruses to a few of our subscribers. (meaning our address shows up in the "from" box, but it did not come from our server) Official NIFL list email should have the list name capitalized within straight brackets (example [NIFL-ESL: 1234] or [NIFL-PLI]) in the subject line of all NIFL list emails. If the subject line does not contain this text, it is probably a "spoofed" email that may contain a virus or a link to a virus or spyware and should be deleted. (Please note: The Numeracy list is an exception. List emails from the Numeracy list do not have the list name in straight brackets. It comes from a different kind of mailing list server with different settings.) Please send this information to your subscribers. Thanks, Connie Harich (Contractor, Titan Corporation) Web Specialist National Institute for Literacy charich@nifl.gov
